The Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium is a state high school in Ulm with a mathematical and scientific profile. Before it was renamed Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium in 2005, the school was called Gymnasium Ulm-Wiblingen . In the 2008/09 school year, 1,079 students, 524 girls and 555 boys, attended the Albert Einstein Grammar School.
location
The Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium is located in the school center on Tannenplatz in the Ulm district of Wiblingen . In addition to the grammar school, this also consists of the Albert Einstein Realschule and the primary school on Tannenplatz. The grammar school shares a building complex with the secondary school, with section I forming the central building, which is roughly half used by the Albert Einstein grammar school and the other half by the Albert Einstein secondary school. Section III, the newest part of the building, is used exclusively by the Albert Einstein Gymnasium.

Gifted train
In 2005 the state government of Baden-Württemberg decided to set up gifted classes at public high schools . The Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium was one of four selected first high schools in the country, at which lessons for highly gifted fifth graders began in the 2006/07 school year.
Life Sciences Competence Center
The Competence Centers Life Sciences project is a cooperation between schools, universities, research institutions, business and the Association of German Biologists. The Center for Molecular Biology of Plants at the University of Tübingen cooperates with five grammar schools in Upper Swabia in order to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research, its implementation in practice and the content to be taught at the school in an intensive dialogue between the participating institutions. Teachers, but also schoolchildren, should make the scientific, societal and school-relevant area of the life sciences accessible through experimental work both in the school competence centers and in the laboratories for cutting-edge research .
history
The Wiblinger Gymnasium (today: Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium) was founded against the resistance of the school management of the Hans-und-Sophie-Scholl-Gymnasium in Ulm, to whose catchment area Wiblingen belonged at that time. A parents' initiative campaigned for a full high school to be built in what is now Ulm's largest district.
The school center at Tannenplatz was built from 1974 to 1980. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on January 31, 1974. The school center was built in three construction phases in a filigree design and offers many communication options between the individual school types. On August 16, 1976 classes could begin.
In 1979 the second construction phase of the primary school on Tannenplatz was moved into. The third and final phase of construction with specialist rooms for teaching the upper level as well as additional classrooms and a teachers' room for the grammar school was completed in September 1980.
Sports halls
The sports hall of the school center, which was completed in 1974, was soon no longer sufficient to hold the sports lessons provided for in the curriculum , especially since it is used not only for school, but also for club and adult sports. In 1991, therefore, another sports hall was put into operation.
Partner schools
The Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium has partner schools in the French twin town Argenton-sur-Creuse von Wiblingen as well as in Sion ( Switzerland ), in Newtown in the state of Pennsylvania in the USA and in Baja ( Hungary ).
particularities
With the Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium, the district of Wiblingen is the only one to have a gymnasium outside the city center of Ulm.
